To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE E. EAsLEY, a citizen of the United States, residin at Danville, in the county of Hendricks an State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Crib, of which the following is a s ecication. This invention relates to comlbined baby cribs and jumpers, and has for its object to rovide a simple, inexpensive, and efficient evice of this character in which the body of the crib is eldably mounted for horizontal and vertica movement in a portable supporting-frame havin rollers or casters secured thereto, so that t e crib may be conveniently moved from place to lace. A further object o the invention is to generally improve this class of devices, so as to add to their utility and durability as well as to reduce' the cost of manufacture.

With these and other objects in view the invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts -hereinafter fully described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, it being underopposite end terminates in a hook 15, which stood that various changes in form, proportions, and minor details of construction may be resorted to within thescope of the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification, and in which hke numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts, there is illustrated a perspective view of the improved crib and jumper forming the sub'ect-matter of this present application.

"llhe device consists of a portable su portin -frame comprising a base 5, provided with ro ers or casters 6 and having uprights or standards 6 secured thereto and connected by cross-bars 7 and 8.

Mounted for horizontal and vertical movement between the standards .6 is a crib or basket 9, havinge es 10 securedvto the upper longitudinal e ges thereof and to which are detachably secured the terminal hooks 11 of yieldable su porting-loops, preferably in the form'of co' ed springs 12. The crib or basket is yieldably supported between the standards 6 by means of coiled springs 13, one end of each of which is connected to an eye 14, secured to the cross-beam 7, while its engages the intermediate convolutions of the ad]acent coiled s rings 12, as shown.i

Secured to the ottom 16 of the basket and preferably spaced inwardly fromthe opposite ends thereof are coiled springs 17, theV hooked ends 18 of which are. detachably secured to an eye 19, secured to the central portion of the cross-beamS. The springs 17 tend to center the basket with respmflz; to the standards 6 and also serve to i 't the horizontal swinging movenient of the same while the springs 12 and 13 yieldablly; supprt and sustain the weight of said bas et. y havin the springs'detachably secured to the basgket and supportingframe the basket may be quickly removed and the device com actly assembled for transportation or s `pment. When the springs 17 are detached, the crib may be used as an ordinary swing, and when in position the device may be used as a bab -jumpen Attention is called to the fact t at by having the supporting-base provided with rollers or casters the device may be conveniently moved from place to lace, whileby reason of the disposition of't e several springs the crib or basket will always ret position. It will thus be seen that there is provided a strong, durable, and compara- .tivelg inexpensive device admirably adapted for t e attainments of the ends in view.

Havin thus described the invention, what is claime is 1. In a device of the class describedfa su prorting-frame, a crib suspended ame and having sp and forming supportin oops, suspensionsprings secured to the ame and enga t e intermediate portions of the sup ortiiigloops, and centering-springs secured) to the bottom of the crib and engaging said supporting-frame.

2.- In a device of the class described, a supporting-frame comprising a base provided with spaced uprig ts connected by crossbars, a crib mounted between the uprights and provided with yieldable supportingloops, springs secured to the up er cross-bar an detachablyl secured to said loops, and springs secured to the bottom of the crib and engaging the lower cross-bar.

3. a device of the class described, a supporting-frame com a base provided s secured thereto bars, a basket mounted for swinging move'- ment between the upright and having coiled ing-loops, sprin secured to the upper crossbar and provided with terminal hooks adapted to engage the convolutions of the supporting-loops, and springs secured to the from t e4 IOO with spaced uprig tsconnected by cross-.105

springs secured thereto' and forming support- IIO bottom of the crib and engaging the lower l cross-bar.

4. In a. device of the class described a portable supporting-base provided with rollers and having s aced uprights secured thereto and connecte by cross-beams, a. crib mount ed for swinging movement between the up# rights and provided with yieldably-supportfing loops, eyes secured to the upper crossbeam, springs engaging the loops and eyes respectively, an attaching member secure to the central portion of the lower crossbeam, and s rinGs connecting the bottom of the crib an sai attaching member. A

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as 15| my own I have hereto aiixed my slgnature in the presence of two witnesses.

GEORGE E. EASLEY.
